Get involved
Attending a University Update connects you with Vanderbilt and the alumni community in your area, fills you with pride in your alma mater and brings clarity to its challenges. But it also serves as a reminder that, as a graduate of Vanderbilt, you are forever linked to your alma mater.
Vanderbilt presents you with a number of opportunities to strengthen your bond to the university. You can play an active role in the life of the university by becoming a member of the Oak Leaf Society with a gift - of any amount - in two or more consecutive years, attending future events and volunteering your time. The following volunteer roles are both vital to Vanderbilt and also help enrich the lives of our alumni:
- Recruit new students, become a CORPs volunteer
- Become a reunion volunteer for your class
- Get involved with your local chapter
- Signup in VUconnect and become a Career Adviser and post jobs for fellow alumni
Attend an update and strengthen your Vanderbilt connection
The article below is by a young alumnus who attended the University Update in New York City. Read his account of what the evening meant to him. Have a similar story? Send it to us at alumni@vanderbilt.edu.
“I recently attended an alumni event in New York City. During this gathering, I met some very intriguing people. They all had different jobs and came from a variety of places, but what united them was a passion for Vanderbilt. I was touched to listen to one alumnus in particular talk about how dearly he values his Vanderbilt education and how he feels an obligation to help the institution. These experiences all made me think a bit about my own time at Vanderbilt and how it colors my life today. If these people felt they were still deeply affected by their college experience, shouldn’t I?
